Dayboil

◎ Appearance

Dayboil presents a pale gold hue with excellent clarity. A foamy white head forms upon pour and persists with remarkable retention, clinging to the glass walls as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is visibly lively, evidenced by a steady stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with stone fruit—distinct mango and ripe peach notes rise first. Behind these lie grapefruit peel and a light pine character, both typical of West Coast hop expression. The overall profile remains clean and uncluttered, with no malt sweetness or yeast character intruding.

◐ Taste

Grapefruit and stone fruit flavors dominate the palate, mirroring the aromatic promise. The malt base is thin and dry, providing little resistance to the hop bitterness, which runs straight and firm throughout rather than evolving in layers. Bitterness lingers without becoming harsh or astringent.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and short, characteristic of the session format. Lingering hop bitterness fades quickly, leaving no residual sweetness or malt impression.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
